My thoughts as well.

IMO, 40" tires on a road-going 2-door JK is a bad idea on any number of levels:
  • cost
  • aesthetics
  • driveability
  • durability
  • practicality
If this kid is serious (I doubt we'll ever see the Jeep he's talking about mom and pops financing for him), it had better have Dana 60s, custom drivetrains, Hemi power, a 'big brake' kit and a lot of suspension if it's going to be used for anything other than limping from one Burger King parking lot to the next on Friday and Saturday nights.

Must be nice. I'm not hatin, I just don't get it...
WRONG!

Georgia's lift/lower law states that the factory suspension can not be modified more than 2" up or down.

And Forsyth, Ga is a couple of hours from Fortec. Your thinking of Forsyth county which is close to fortec.

Oh, he's in Forsyth, GA? Yeah, that's well south of Atlanta...

You're right. I meant no inspections and the cops don't seem to care for the most part.

Is that some sort of brace holding the xenon flares up in place to help hold their shape or is it something that I obviously don't know anything about?
I'm only asking this because my set of xenon flares on the front droop down like crazy towards the tires and have a warped sort of look to them and my set are the only ones I've seen to look like this. I really don't like it!

That is in fact a brace, but it's a factory piece if I recall correctly from when I installed my bushwackers.

And back to the main reason for this post:

The OP was very gung ho about getting 40s, and 37s being lame because all his friends had them, and his folks were picking up the tab for everything, so let's see a pic of the 40s on his JK. lol

Did your xenons not come with those black plastic stiffeners? I dont have xenons on mine, but a friend of mine does and im pretty sure they came with some shiny plastic stiffeners. His dont droop at all (they are the narrow ones).
